    anyelse interested in this game, i think the idea behind it is very intestering and it has the chance of being a very good game, i like the idea of being able to learn things from those you consume and gain the memories and use them as a Disguise and some of the abilities sound cool as does the ability to decide how fast the virus spreads.

    I think I'll sit this one out. This game is a long way from being finished and in my experience a lot of games don't live up to the promise.

    A lot of people try to imitate GTA and most fail at it. It looks okay now, but before you know it you have another Big Rigs on your hands.

    GTA is fun. It like the freedom you have to wreak havoc in the city. I don't mind the swearing and stuff. Goes with the territory. GTA isn't really so graphic with the gore. Have you ever seen or played manhunt? Or The Punisher for X-Box/PS2/PC. Damn, that game had some blood and gore in it. Still, was a nice game for a bargain bin deal.

    true it can be fun and i do like the freedom what i dont like is the fact that they dont bother trying anything new in any of the games, like GTA4 better graphics and thats it it will STILL be the same game ie go kill that person, go help him run away from police it gets boring and i dont mind the violence i love horror games ^^ Manhunt is a very good game, want them to release number 2 here and the punisher was okay loved doing the over the top executions^^

    I've read about this in PC Gamer I think. It actually sounds like it might be really fun so long as it is implimented the way they claim it will be.

    The concepts are usually good, it is always the implimentation that gets developers.

    I'm pretty sure this one will get at least a B on the metacritic scale.

    Something about this game reminds me of another game called Pandora or something where you play a thief who opens Pandora's Box and Gryphons go around impaling people on their talons in New York City. What game am I thinking of? Eh. It's coming out later.

    I'll wait for the reviews. It's a long way from the drawing board to the store shelves. A lot of games start out full of promise and innovation. Then come the technical problems, time constraints and the cash problems. And then its the next Big Rigs.

    Kane and Lynch really sucked. Man, that game was hyped. The finished product was junk. And then the stink it caused...
